Jaclyn Schiff is a strategic marketing communications consultant who brings a journalist's eye for storytelling to complex industries.
Most recently, she served as Head of Marketing Communications at FastWave Medical, where she joined as the company's first full-time marketing hire. The venture-backed medtech startup, which is developing next-generation intravascular lithotripsy technology, was named MD+DI Medtech Company of the Year and earned a Fierce Medtech "Fierce 15" designation.
Before FastWave, Jaclyn built and sold PodReacher, a B2B content agency she founded in 2018. The company helped brands like FreshBooks, Constant Contact, The Joint Commission, VanillaSoft, Karbon, and Clarify Health turn conversations — podcasts, webinars, video — into content that drove thought leadership and demand generation. PodReacher was acquired by Marketers in Demand in 2024 and rebranded as Spoke.
With roots in journalism and deep healthcare communications experience, Jaclyn has reported for KFF Health News and NPR in Washington, D.C., led programming for healthcare executives at Modern Healthcare, and served in communications leadership roles for the American Society of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene and the International Society of Travel Medicine. She was selected for a global health journalism fellowship in Zambia, where she reported on infectious disease and public health challenges.
Jaclyn lives in Austin, Texas, and is living proof you don't need coffee to build a business — she didn't start drinking it until her mid-30s.
